CAUTION IMPORTANT!
When installing this projector, make sure
that it is mounted in a manner that prevents the audience from
looking directly into the beam, and the beam from striking the
audience.
Operating Modes:
You can use the Pocket Scan
TM
in three ways:
• Stand alone mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing through
the several built in programs. You can also use the optional
Pocket Scan/RF Remote Control to set blackout, strobe or
slow scan mode.
•
Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to
get a synchronized light show that will react to sound chasing
through several built in programs.
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each indi-
vidual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the
American DJ Show Designer.

it will chase through its programs via sound. You can also use the
optional remote to blackout, strobe, or slow scan the units.

must be programmed to act as “Masters” or as “Slaves.” There are
two Master-Slave modes, Fast and Slow.
